True, but i was thinking of it more like that new bulletproof vest they have that would absorb some the impact and then just regenerate the damage done. Not sure if this is what they are going for but a combination of the two products would be an excellent idea IMHO. Hopefully they are working on that as well.
This is a very good break through. With a material like this if it can be mass produced and make correctly we could see this in homes and cars as possible replacements for windows. Saying that if something broke a window it would just fix itself automatically. I assume the military will fine plenty of uses for this too.
I noted that the main use they were talking about is related to space, which is great and could potentially saw millions on our various orbiters and probes where as if they are hit by debris in space they can repair themselves and save countless man hours and material in planning a mission to fix them.
I totally agree education is the key. I mean my parents couldn't even turn on a computer, and I have showed them how to do all that and use applications and now my dad gets on the internet and can surf sufficiently with out much help me at all.
The problem is that our "leaders" are out of touch with the times and don't know jack about what's going on. They don't want to or are afraid to learn about it.
I doubt Blizzard will charge to play SC2, it wouldn't make any sense. If you consider that all games on bnet are on the same Bnet. If they charged for SC2 they would in theory have to charge for War2, War3, SC1, and the Diablo series. Bnet isn't as much of a money sink as you might think. All of their games run off the same battle net so it actually makes it easier to release a game.
I generally get most of my information from Networkworld.com and the various article I see here on slashdot. The other various info I et is random emails people in my department send out about various things.
I have always like the PS1 controllers, they were comfortable and had the right amount of buttons without being cluttered. Didn't care for the ones with the little sticks on them though.
I never cared for the giant controllers some consoles have like the Atari Jaguar system. Good lord the controllers were over sized on that system. i mean wtf do you need a full keypad for?
It's already in CS 1.6, and I find it annoying, but I can deal cause at least ti is just games off steam ads, like TFC2 and Portal. If I buy future games and it is plastered with Coke, Ford, and GAP ads or crap like that I will just return it. Ads are just wasted space fr something else. Now I do remember a CS map that had a bunch of phony ads a while back that were funny. that was ok cause it was part of the map. They made fake billboard ads for a town.
Yes starcraft sounds like a good pick to me, that or warcraft3. Both would supply you with many maps and campaigns to play and allow you to create your own maps as well.
I like Runescape because it is free, easy, and doesn't need a lot of time. With runescape you don't need to get in some top guild to do the same grind instance a million time to get the chance of getting one item. It's a funny little game you can go in and duel people and level at your own pace. and you can be lvl 60 like me and still fight lvl 80+ creatures. WoW is a fun game, but it is too demanding to keep pace with everyone where are runescape you can forget about it and come back at it is still the same.
Diablo 2, also made by Blizzard, is like this, you can get to lvl 99 but u only have 5 acts and 3 difficulties in it. after a certain about of time. Blizzard will reset the ladder and your current ladder characters get moved to the non-ladder side of online play and then you cna create new characters to ladder again with.
That's basically what I think blizzard will do with a cross faction battle against Arthas at the frozen throne. When the time comes that WoW is not making the profit they want or it is just getting old, they will make Arthas as a final world boss that units all factions as a global raid type deal and out side raid boss that require the cooperation of everyone to defeat in an epic battle finale.
i agree, i like endings too that tie together all that time playing. But yes it is bad business to end a monthly payment game. Unless it has been like 10 years and the company is ready to push out a new game or something. All companies see though is the $$$$$$$ they just make the game interesting enough to keep you playing.
During warcraft 2 and before orcs were inherently evil, but if you go through the warcraft3 series they turn out to not be all that bad. As with all races there are good and bad in each. In war3 at one point all the races worked together to defeat archimode at the world tree. so neither side is good or bad. The horde and the alliance just have different views on things and really Medivah( a Human) is to blame for the whole thing, opening the portal to the orcs home world. So if anything humans are evil. The biggest foe in the warcraft series is the burning legion and the scourge, which have caused untold destruction to both the alliance and horde. Which i think blizzard will eventually add in the game with cross faction battles where horde and alliance ally to conquer a common foe.
Isn't the whole point of a company making an MMORPG to not have a ending? I mean if they want to rack in the cash, why would they ever think of making an ending to their game? Like WoW they just keep adding new areas to give more quests to make more cash. The only possible ending for WoW would be that they open up northernd and you have to kill Arthas on on the frozen throne. That is where warcraft 3 left off was evil technically winning.
So knowing the end is ok but it's better to not have one if you want to make money.
It's really unfortunate the game gear didn't take off better, it was color screen and they even had an adapter to watch TV on it.
Game boy just had a better variety of games then game gear did. i still have my original gameboy and it still works just fine.
I have to totally agree with you. I don't mind waiting longer for a better less buggy game. Memories of the WoW release come to mind. Hey we'll start them paying and get paid for doing beta testing on our own product.
You could do that with warcraft 2, i have a map editor for it to lets boats sail on land units walk on water and through trees turn zeppelins into demos, make anything invisible, give units a range of like 255 have peons shoot dragon fire. it was quite good for the being warcraft2. Also war3s map editor is far more advanced then SC ever was. Go check out a game called DOTA for war3, the people who made that changed so much stuff it's sick, they made tons of their own items and spells. For warcraft 3 knowing scripting is your only limit.
I loved warcraft 2 it was a kickass game, SC was awesome as hell too. War3 is a great game too. I had my reservations about ti with the new gold system and all, but after i started playing it i learned to love it. But if they do make an SC2 i hope they leave the hero aspect out of it or if they do make heros don't give them all kinds of crazy imbalanced game turning spells. Makes heros like warcraft 2 where they just had more HP and did more damage.
Bad attempt at humor, it just makes you like you didn't read. Or maybe you weren't trying to be funny at all and since you got called out on it you are saying it ws supposed to be funny to try to et off the hook, which is probably the case.

Yeah i agree that is annoying, just about anything you install asks about it, it's just habit now to find the box to unclick.

I just recently got in to silk road online, it has really good graphics and it's FREE. It's fun too so far.

Wow get a life man U don't even have the balls to post with a user name. and if U read i spelled you out a few times.

Yes more then likely, he did help thrall in the war3 campaigns. Overall though no race is total good or bad, they all have their scheming people.

LOL keep up with your news, that was canceled a while ago. cause it took way too long to make. plus it probably would have sucked anyways.

apparently you can't read, valve bought content from marlin so marlin didn't take anything from HL2
